I've got an MVC project, and I want to add Identity to it, but I can't seem to find any good articles on how to do so.
Is there an easy way to add Identity to an existing project?
I already have a database with stuff in it
In Solution Explorer, right-click your project, select Add, and then Add New Item. In the search text box dialog, type "owin". Name the class "Startup" and select Add.
To configure the authentication manually, open Visual Studio project properties >> go to Debug tab. It has the option to configure the same. Alternatively, we can also configure Windows Authentication related properties into launchSettings. json file.
IdentityDbContext() Initializes a new instance of the IdentityDbContext class. IdentityDbContext(DbContextOptions) Initializes a new instance of IdentityDbContext.
Why do we need IdentityServer4? ASP.NET Identity can receive a security token from a third-party login provider like Facebook, Google, Microsoft and Twitter. But If you want to issue a security token for a local ASP.NET Identity user you need to work with a third-party library like IdentityServer4, OpenIddict.
ASP.NET Core Identity UI is the default Razor Pages built-in UI for the ASP.NET Core Identity framework. This package was built from the source code at https://github.com/dotnet/aspnetcore/tree/bb01bbf4433e27289b99001b7de6a582879d1835. Product. Versions. .NET.
Scaffolding in ASP.NET Core is a technique used to generate code at design time to support a number of common application scenarios when working with Entity Framework Core. The code generation tool is available as a Nuget package.
Well, in one respect, you simply have to add the Nuget package and start writing code with it, but I think you're probably talking about all the extras: the pre-written code and samples for doing things like password resets, two-factor auth, etc.
For that, no, there's not really an easy way, at least in the sense of click a button and go. What I would recommend is creating a new MVC 5 project with Individual Auth, and then adding the Identity Samples Nuget package to it. Then, open your existing project in another Visual Studio window and copy/paste or use the sample code as a guide for writing your own.
